It crashes instantly but...
if I check out
Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Allow documents to use other fonts
Then everything works again... :-(

Problem with update on FC3test1
by Trey Sizemore
I installed FC3T1 yesterday and when running up2date (showing >300
packages) it hangs. I see the list of available package updates, select
all or even select just 2, I get the "Testing package set / solving RPM
inter-dependencies" progress dialog and then it just sits there.
Am I doing something wrong? A bug? Haven't seen anything on the list
about this.
Thanks.

stories about actually using FC3t1 on a regular basis?
by Robert P. J. Day
rather than just poke around on FC3t1 on a separate system sitting
off in the corner, i'm thinking about just throwing caution to the
winds and installing it on my inspiron 8100, and taking my chances, to
force myself to start using it seriously.
assuming that it won't actually do anything untoward like trash or
corrupt my hard drives, is there anything that would really count as a
showstopper that would make this a huge mistake?
i don't really push the bounds of normal usage:
* I8100 with 1600x1200 screen, which i can always just run the OSS
nv driver on, that works fine.
* linksys pcmcia cards, both wired and wireless, which have never
given me trouble
* pine for mail
* basic USB for logitech optical mouse, and card readers
does it sound like i'd have any grief? i don't mind the inevitable
annoyances i'd have to work around, just the real devastating ones.
thanks.

nautilus problems
by Oldman
All:
I guess I am alone in seeing that Nautilus no longer displays .jpg, .gif
files (thumbnails do still work). Clicking on them yields an error
"Couldn't display whatever.gif"
opening the File Types preferences yields only some entries for http,
gaim, evolution, nothing for non-internet related mime types such as
image-x/xcf or the hundreds of others which were there.
Nautilus windows are crashing often, I'm not really sure why as
sometimes I haven't been doing anything before the crash. often I have
to completely reboot to get back to barely operable. Looking over the
logs has not helped determine anything (maybe i don't know what I'm
looking for!)
BTW I am fully up2date with the exception of the last 5 KDE programs
(waiting on kdebase)
Anyone care to suggest a course of action?

The real question is wether you want bugs to get fixed that might happen
on your system with your usage patterns before FC3 is finalized, and
wether or not you have the time and patience to beta test it and report
bugs in the meantime. If you wait until it is released, and only then
test it, you may find that there are bugs that could have been fixed in
time for FC3 if they'd been reported.

Nvidia's driver readme file tells what X releases their driver supports,
and they tend to keep this information accurate with each driver
release. In general, while their driver may or may not work with beta
or test OS releases or beta or test X11 releases, Nvidia doesn't
generally support beta releases of OS's or X, until a while after an
official release. If you require stable support for proprietary
drivers, you're best off sticking only with official OS releases.

I've got the ABIT NF7-S and it seems to work OK, including the
onboard ethernet. All the Nvidia stuff seems to work OK.
The real question is do you know FC3 test 1 is a test release?
Are you willing to have things be broken from time to time? As
long as you don't expect it to be stable, got for it. To me it's
worth the trouble. I also run FC2 on the system alongside FC3t1,
and I have a backup system just in case something really breaks.
So far test 1 has been remarkably stable, but don't run it on
a system that has data you can't afford to lose.

Rawhide hates mozilla?
by Jonathan Corbet
So I did the monster update on my x86-64 box last night, getting all of
that new GNOME 2.7 stuff. Now none of my Mozilla-based browsers work.
They'll display a page or two, but the crash is never far away; I can
reproduce the behavior with mozilla, firefox, and epiphany. I'm not
quite sure how to narrow things down better at this point.
Konqueror seems to work fine :)
I assume that something in the GNOME or X.org updates has brought about
this breakage. Is anybody else seeing this sort of problem?
Thanks,
jon

Battery charging applet
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Once the battery has fully charged, the little "battery is fully
charged" applet pops up.
If you click on the button which says to close thw window (not the close
window icon on the window title line), nothing happens. The only way to
close the applet is to click on the close window X icon.

FC3 + latest updates = no sound
by Bart Kalita
I've updated my box yesterday evening, 228 updates form devel tree minus
curl, curl-devel and vorbis-tools, and after reboot and reinstall of
NVIDIA drivers KDE played "welcome" sound or rather just a part of it
and no other sounds can be played.
Sound card is recognised correctly, and sounds are turned on, basically
all looks exactly the same as it was before updates.
Does anybody have same problem?
or knows where to start troubleshooting?
I'm at complete loss here after fiddling with sound settings for few
hours.
TIA
